Chapter 213 Planting the Seeds

Among the flowers, the broad-bodied Mercury was crawling on the green grass, with the dark figure of Im in front of him.

"Lord Im, Rex arranged the 'Seven Warlords Plan' he proposed, then took out the fruit from the Treasury of God and returned to the Pentles Expo."

Yimu remained silent. Seeing this, Mercury continued to speak respectfully:

"The World Expo is about to end, but according to our predictions, there will probably be a huge change in power in Qinghai after this, especially among the special races. In addition, people's pursuit of strength may become more fanatical, which will inevitably cause chaos. Should we expand the navy's armaments, increase the size of CP, and suppress some countries?"

Im did not answer this question directly, but instead asked about the fruit that Lex took out from the God's Treasury:

"Was it the fallen angel that Lex took away?"

"It is the Fallen Angel Fruit, Master Im."

"Oh……"

After a while, Yim spoke again:

"The navy can expand, you decide, Mu just wants a peaceful sea."

"Then Lord Yim, if Lex is against the expansion of the Navy and CP, what should we do?"

"...He will agree. It won't do him any harm. Go down, Vochuli."

"Yes, my lord."

In a different space.

All around is boundless, constantly flowing deep blue space.

As Lex's spatial fruit gradually deepened, he had already gone a step further on the basis of awakening and reached the level of seizing the fortune of heaven and earth.

Whether it was the Dynamite Rock that suppressed the Waldo Pirates in 3 seconds at the Expo, or the secret suppression of Army General Cairns in the Sky Arena, Rex's spatial ability became more and more incredible.

At this point, it has almost become a conceptual-level capability.

but--

Although the ability of the Space Fruit to cross space is unparalleled in Qinghai, Lex did not rush to Pentles with all his strength.

Instead, he strolled slowly and leisurely in the other dimension. Every time he passed a country or island, he would walk out of the other dimension to observe the lives and changes of the people on the sea.

Sirius Island is an ordinary island among the countless islands in the first half of the Grand Route.

"Hey!~ Mom, I'm back!"

The young boy with a green face carried a long sword on his back. He pushed open the entrance door with great interest and walked into the house.

"Enteli, have you been practicing swordsmanship seriously?"

The young man named Entri rushed into the kitchen as soon as he entered the door, grabbed a handful of food and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking, causing the gentle woman next to him to roll her eyes.

"Well, I must have practiced seriously. Even the master at the dojo praised me."

The woman chuckled:

"That's good. Hey, the sea is so chaotic now. You have to learn some skills to save your life. Even if you don't want to be rich, you must not let others bully you. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know. Mom, the master at the dojo said that if you want to be as strong as those strong men at the Expo in the live broadcast, it is far from enough to practice on your own. He said that maybe joining the navy is a good choice. There are the most professional training methods there. I——"

Before Entri could finish his words, the beautiful woman interrupted him:

"No! Absolutely not, Entri, don't even think about joining the navy or the army, just practice the content of the dojo first, and then talk about it."

Enteli could barely notice the child's curled lip, and of course he understood his mother's thoughts.

It's simply because she thinks the navy is too dangerous and that joining will likely lead to sacrifice. How could a mother be willing to push her son into such danger?

Mothers are all selfish, especially when it comes to their own children.

The beautiful woman continued to say to Enteli unhappily:

"You kid, didn't you watch the live broadcast of the World Expo? Most of those powerful people who destroyed the world are pirates. Even the New World is the territory of pirates. Joining the navy means fighting against these villains. Don't even think about it! ~"

"Okay, okay, I won't do that anymore. Don't be angry, Mom."

"Hmph!~"

In another space, Lex witnessed this scene.

After leaving the holy land, Lex witnessed many similar or dissimilar scenes along the way.

But no matter what, most people have one thing in common -

Start consciously pursuing power!

Families with a little savings began to consciously send their children to places of training in towns, while the nobles directly invited various powerful people to teach their children.

Even the various kingdoms began to expand their national armaments.

However, unlike previous experiences, the kingdoms this time began to intentionally recruit elite and powerful men, with quality being more important than quantity.

Through the World Expo, people gradually realized more incredible powers——

Haki, devil fruit, swordsmanship, taijutsu...

A strong man who is proficient in dual-color domineering is better than hundreds of ordinary soldiers with guns!

This is the huge impact brought by the live broadcast of the World Expo!

The sea used to be too backward and too closed!

The situation on the Grand Line is a little better, at least most people know what Haki is and what Devil Fruit is.

But in the vaster Four Seas, most people don’t even know the concepts of these domineering powers and fruits, let alone that a truly strong person can destroy their island with a single move.

This situation continued until 1522 in the original work.

However, this time, Rex, relying on his own huge power and influence on public opinion, used the World Expo and live broadcasts to subtly influence people's worldview in many places on the sea, which has not changed in 800 years.

Although there are still many countries and islands that have not witnessed this World Expo, as time goes by, the influence of the World Expo will slowly begin to spread and gradually become popular in Qinghai!

This is a seed that Lex has planted in people's hearts. It needs time to be watered before it can thrive.

And what’s next?

Still Lex waited.

"…Huh~ 1498, Roger, this time, will you still start the Great Age of Pirates as fate has destined?"

In the other dimension, Lex muttered to himself.

Yes, the next step is the beginning of the great pirate era!

When the day comes that Roger faces the whole world for execution, Lex will completely overturn the table!

What executive prime minister, what king of the new world, what the strongest in the world, Lex is just Lex.

Leon Lex is the one who fights for his ambitions and dreams! ~

"Open it quickly, I have already prepared everything for you..."

next moment--

Lex stepped out of the void and set foot on the land of Pentles.
